Serum proteins in thyrotoxic goiter before and after surgery

Abstract

Studies concerning the state of the protein-forming function of the liver in thyrotoxic goiter are few, and their data are contradictory. I. K. Akhunbaev and Yu.A. Volokh (1961), S. I. Rakhimov (1961), and others indicate that the amount of total serum protein in patients with thyrotoxic goiter is within the normal range. P. E. Ogiy (1955), P. G. Podorozhny (1956), A. A. Alekseeva (1959), D. A. Makar (1960), and D. Ya. Polyakov (1960) found hypoproteinemia in a number of these patients. I. A. Drzhevetskaya (1957) found an increase in the u-globulin fraction, T. I. Dobrovolskaya (I960)- increase of a1-globulin, S. I. Rakhimov (1961) - increase of a2 and u-globulins, N. Khamidov (1961)- increase in a-fractions, D. A. Makar (1960) - decrease in albumins and increase in all globulin fractions of blood serum.
